Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x-\frac{1}{x}}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+c\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let
\(\begin{aligned} I &=\int \frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{4}+x^{2}+1} d x \\ &=\int \frac{x^{2}\left(1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)}{x^{2}\left(x^{2}+1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)} d x=\int \frac{1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}}{\left(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2\right)+3} \\ I &=\int \frac{1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}}{\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}} d x \end{aligned}\)
Put \(x-\frac{1}{x}=t \Rightarrow\left(1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right) d x=d t\)
\(\therefore I=\int \frac{d t}{t^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}}\)
\(=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x-\frac{1}{x}}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+c\)
\(\begin{aligned} I &=\int \frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{4}+x^{2}+1} d x \\ &=\int \frac{x^{2}\left(1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)}{x^{2}\left(x^{2}+1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)} d x=\int \frac{1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}}{\left(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2\right)+3} \\ I &=\int \frac{1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}}{\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}} d x \end{aligned}\)
Put \(x-\frac{1}{x}=t \Rightarrow\left(1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right) d x=d t\)
\(\therefore I=\int \frac{d t}{t^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}}\)
\(=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x-\frac{1}{x}}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+c\)
